Immortal Mortal sprinted all the way. When he first entered the Thunder Fog Forest, he was careful not to go too deep to avoid encountering powerful demon beasts. But now, Mo Wuji had no such concerns. Even if he knew there were powerful demon beasts ahead, he wouldn't hesitate at all.

Whether it was Qi Laoshi or that short, stocky man, their strength was unbelievably powerful to Mo Wuji. If he was discovered by either of them, his death would be gruesome.

Mo Wuji ran for nearly four days before stopping. It wasn't that he didn't want to keep running, but that he really didn't dare to anymore.

In this place, he could already hear the roars of powerful beasts. He had heard such roars once before, when the demon beast in the Five Elements Wilderness was undergoing tribulation, and it was just as terrifying.

If he dared to run any further, he might end up in the mouth of a demon beast.

Only now did Mo Wuji have time to look at the two rings in his hand. His heart was filled with excitement. These two rings were his greatest reward. Obtaining such good things made his life-threatening journey worthwhile.

He wasn't in a hurry to break the divine sense imprints on the two rings. Finding a hiding place was the priority.

After carefully stowing the rings away, Mo Wuji cautiously searched for a hiding place. Even though he had run for four days in the Thunder Fog Forest, it still wasn't a safe distance.

The best hiding place for him would naturally be Thunder Valley, but he didn't dare to enter it now. He was afraid that Qi Laoshi, that bastard, would specifically search for Thunder Valley. After all, he had stayed in Thunder Valley once and had been discovered by Qi Laoshi.

Perhaps choosing a place to stay in Thunder Marsh was a good idea. Mo Wuji looked at the vast Thunder Marsh not far away, still hesitating in his heart.

A few minutes later, Mo Wuji gave up the idea of finding a place to stay in Thunder Marsh. If Qi Laoshi hadn't discovered that he had stayed in Thunder Valley, choosing a place to stay in Thunder Marsh might have been a good idea. But now, it might not be the best option.

Mo Wuji looked up at the boundless Thunder Fog Forest, not knowing where the end was, and sighed in his heart. Leaving the Thunder Fog Forest would be the best option at this time.

But entering the Thunder Fog Forest was easy, while leaving was difficult.

Where should he hide? Mo Wuji scratched his head. Suddenly, he looked down at his feet. He was in a clearing, and it could be said that his location was the most conspicuous to anyone passing through. It was like being in the middle of a highway.

What was that saying? The most dangerous place is the safest place. There was also a term called being hidden in plain sight.

He would hide in this clearing, but underground.

Mo Wuji's gaze fell on the Thunder Marsh in the distance again. Drilling from the Thunder Marsh to this place wouldn't be easy, after all, he didn't have any earth escape techniques.

Regardless of whether it was easy or not, he would choose this place. Mo Wuji quickly made up his mind. Choosing to hide in the empty underground was something Qi Laoshi would never expect. Because Foundation Building cultivators couldn't form internal breathing and needed air to survive. Therefore, Gathering Spirit cultivators wouldn't bury themselves in airless places for too long. Even Mo Wuji couldn't stay underground for more than a few days.

But Mo Wuji had an advantage that others didn't. He understood arrays and could set up elementary vitality arrays. Elementary vitality arrays could not only nourish vitality but also provide a space for cultivators to survive. Therefore, he wouldn't suffocate underground and could stay as long as he wanted, provided that his elementary vitality array could function.

Mo Wuji entered the Thunder Marsh and sank into a swampy area. Digging a pit here had another advantage: the muddy water that seeped in from the Thunder Marsh would quickly cover up the place he had dug out.

Two days later, Mo Wuji had filled all his storage bags with mud before reluctantly stopping. He really couldn't hold on any longer. Although he had squeezed the mud back as much as possible, there were still several extra storage bags of mud. And the space he had obtained was only about a meter in diameter. Such a small space didn't even allow him to sleep.

No matter how small the place was, Mo Wuji didn't want to dig any further. He suspected that he would suffocate if he continued. After two days, his circulation was starting to stagnate.

Mo Wuji immediately set up an elementary vitality array around him and took out a few bright light stones for lighting. Only then did he have time to sit down and catch his breath. If he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely learn the Five Elements Escape Technique. With the Five Elements Escape Technique, he wouldn't have to struggle so hard underground.

At this moment, his divine sense couldn't scan above. He didn't need to be able to scan the ground anyway. Although he cultivated divine sense, he was only a Foundation Building cultivator. If his divine sense could scan outside, then the divine sense outside could definitely scan in here.

After half an incense stick of time, Mo Wuji gradually recovered and was too lazy to change his clothes. He took out the two rings.

Eh? Mo Wuji's eyes swept over the number plate hanging on his waist as he looked down, and it seemed to have an extra string of numbers.

Mo Wuji quickly grabbed the number plate. He hadn't had time to look at it while running. Later, he didn't have the opportunity to look at it while searching for a hiding place.

It wasn't until just now that he seemed to see a row of numbers, and then he suddenly remembered that the coffin board cultivator was very likely to have died at his hands. The contribution points on the Hundred Sect Alliance contribution number plate would only be credited to the person who killed the extra-territorial cultivator.

When he was carrying the coffin board cultivator away, the guy still had a breath of life left. Later, he fed the coffin board cultivator pills twice, and maybe that's how he finished the guy off.

No, his pills naturally wouldn't have any effect on the coffin board cultivator, but they wouldn't kill him either. Could it be that he really died because he carried him away?

Regardless, since there were contribution points, that meant the coffin board cultivator was killed by him.

When Mo Wuji picked up the number plate, the row of numbers on it almost stunned him. Loose cultivator number 2705, contribution points 9022, ranked tenth.

What kind of terrifying cultivation did that coffin board cultivator have? It actually earned him 9000 points? Mo Wuji naturally knew that the woman he killed had no contribution points because she was definitely not an extra-territorial cultivator. These 9000 points should have come entirely from the coffin board cultivator.

After being stunned for a while, Mo Wuji let out a long sigh and carefully put away the number plate. He estimated that the Hundred Sect Alliance contribution points list was already in an uproar. No one wouldn't go crazy when a loose cultivator number 2705 suddenly broke into the top ten. If this score had been three months ago, it would have been enough to break into the top three.

Soon, Mo Wuji chuckled. He didn't care about the ranking, but these contribution points meant a lot of good things, so how could he not be happy?

What made Mo Wuji most proud was naturally not these contribution points, but the two rings. Even true disciples like Cen Shuyin and Ren Tianxing didn't have such things, but he had two.

He would give one to Ren Tianxing later. He was a friend worth making.

He took out the first ring, which belonged to the coffin board cultivator. Mo Wuji was about to use his divine sense to break open the ring when his heart stirred again, and he couldn't help but laugh. He finally understood how the coffin board man had died. He hadn't died from being moved or from his pills.

The guy had been angered to death. He had only had a breath of life left and thought he was going to save him. Little did he know that he was using him to escape the short, stocky man's assassination and using him to gain the short, stocky man's protection. That was one thing, but he had even snatched his ring before escaping. It would be strange if he wasn't angered to death.

Mo Wuji's divine sense rampaged, and it only took half a day to directly tear apart the divine sense imprint within.

A space of several zhang appeared before Mo Wuji's eyes. Mo Wuji took a breath. Compared to a storage bag, this storage ring was simply a large house.

The several zhang of space was filled with various spirit stones, medicinal herbs, and refining materials. There were also piles and piles of pill bottles, as well as piles of jade boxes and various jade slips and cultivation technique scrolls.

So many good things almost blinded Mo Wuji.

He quickly opened the jade boxes one by one. The worst were rank six spirit herbs, and the rest were either rank seven spirit herbs or spirit fruits. Mo Wuji even saw two rank eight spirit herbs. As for the refining materials, Mo Wuji didn't recognize many of them.

Mo Wuji didn't know what the jade slips were, so he didn't touch them. Any of the cultivation technique scrolls he randomly opened were at least human-grade superior, and there was even one earth-grade superior cultivation technique.

There were too many good things, but unfortunately, all he could use right now was this storage ring and that pile of spirit stones.

Mo Wuji put the ring aside and then took out the other ring.

This should be the woman's ring. Mo Wuji's divine sense directly bombarded the divine sense imprint on the ring. The woman had also fallen, but her divine sense imprint was actually much stronger than the coffin board cultivator's.

It took Mo Wuji a full day to break the imprint on this ring.

A space several times larger than the coffin board cultivator's ring appeared before Mo Wuji's eyes. This was several tens of zhang in diameter. What was this woman's background?

Besides the large space, the things in the ring left Mo Wuji speechless.

Besides a few boxes filled with clothes, there were only tens of thousands of spirit stones at most. This was far fewer than the coffin board cultivator had.

However, a pill furnace caught Mo Wuji's attention. The pill furnace looked dull and gray, with a faint red trace on the edge. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't even notice it.

This pill furnace didn't look like much, but its grade should be pretty good. Mo Wuji unhesitatingly took this pill furnace as his own. He was currently lacking a furnace for refining pills.

There weren't any miscellaneous cultivation techniques or anything like that in the black-scarfed woman's ring. There were only three jade boxes placed in a corner.

Mo Wuji grabbed one of the jade boxes and opened it. A crystal clear object emitting a rich, pure spiritual energy was quietly lying in the middle of the jade box.

"Celestial-grade spirit stone?" Mo Wuji had obtained celestial-grade spirit stones before, and he recognized it at first glance. This was a celestial-grade spirit stone.

Immediately, Mo Wuji became excited. This was a good thing. Compared to an earth-grade superior cultivation technique, this celestial-grade spirit stone was what he needed most.
